A severely disabled single mum is set to become the first council tenant in Scotland to be evicted because of the bedroom tax.
Lorraine Fraser has scoliosis - curvature of the spine - and arthritis. She is also a wheelchair-user.
Her council moved her into a specially adapted flat with a wheelchair ramp, wet room and handrails just two years ago.
However she is facing repossession after failing to pay £248 in bedroom tax arrears.
North Lanarkshire Council has sent Lorraine a letter, dated August 8, that states: "I can advise you that North Lanarkshire Council has commenced court action to evict you from your home."
She has also been told she faces paying for the authority's "considerable" legal costs.
Lorraine was informed she was being targeted because she has two spare rooms.
However she says she is baffled because she shares her three-bedroom flat with her daughter Collette, 19, and son Mark, 17.
They are both students who live at home, although they also spend time living with their dad, who is divorced from Lorraine.
North Lanarkshire Council are one of the few local authorities in Scotland who have refused to adopt a no-evictions policy.
In April 2013, Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond pledged that no SNP-run council would throw out tenants who had fallen into arrears because of the bedroom tax.
